Tesol Tutor Time Homework Center

A Collaboration of Volunteer Preservice Teachers in the Public Elementary Schools

Eileen N. Ariza

Florida Atlantic University

Bilingual parents who struggle with language acquisition themselves cannot assist their children with homework and need academic support. This report describes the inception and progress of a university/public school collaboration where preservice teachers, who are working toward endorsement in teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), volunteer to teach English as a second language (ESL) students. The preservice teachers provide academic support, homework help, language practice, and comprehensive explanations for children who are struggling to either learn English or to keep up with academic assignments. The TESOL Tutor Time Homework Center provides Florida Atlantic University's students the opportunity to apply current TESOL methodologies and approaches, thus enhancing the ESL student's ability to master the English language and achieve curriculum competencies.

Key Words: ESL tutoring • ESL homework • preservice teachers • school/university collaboration • ESL students
